Magnetic Interchangeable Flower

Published: June 29, 2011

Flowers are SO popular these days! Wouldn’t it be so nice to have one that matched every outfit? I say let’s do it!

I’m going to show you how to make an interchangeable flower hair clip by placing flower petals in betweentwo magnets. One magnet will be glued to a single prong clip and the other to a bottle cap. If you use strong magnets you will have no problem putting 10 petals in between your magnets.

I love it! I mean, I’ve only got boys an most likely don’t have a need for tons of hair flowers, but still–what a great idea!! I actually love making hairbows for friends and family. I need to get some sort of sponsor so that I can keep on craftin’ without breaking the bank! Need another crafter for The Ribbon Retreat?! 😉

What a superb idea. Now to only find someone who would wear them. My 16 yo sna-fooed the idea immediately. I wish I could keep them small. She used to love flowers in her hair. I am not sure how they would look in my hair. I will have to try them out. Thanks for a great idea!

What a great idea! I take the flowers apart and glue them onto hairbands in layers like this. But the magnets give it a whole new versatility. I sell at local craft shows and could have people ‘create their own’ hairband… choose a base hairband, then two flowers they can interchange. Love it! ps. My 9 yr old wants me to tell you that you are very pretty!

Hi. This is awesome! My daughter and I will be making one soon. I am going to use it as her homeschool craft project.I have a question though: what type of paint do you use for the bottle caps?Thank you so much.

Hi Nazanin! Thank you so much for your comment! Yay! I am so glad you have found such a fun craft to do with your daughter. Cherie actually didn’t paint any of her bottle caps.
